For Satnam Singh, the journey from Apeejay School of Management (ASM), Dwarka to becoming Deputy Manager at ICICI Bank in Rayya, Punjab, has been one of focus, discipline, and continuous learning. A sports enthusiast, a keen learner, and a firm believer in mentorship, Satnam credits his alma mater for shaping both his professional and personal outlook. In this candid conversation, he reflects on the lessons that mattered, the people who guided him, and the advice he holds dear for the next generation of students.
What all did you learn through your course at ASM?
At ASM, I learnt the importance of discipline, staying focused, and developing a solid understanding of business and sales. These are things I apply every day in my work.
Were the teachers supportive?
Absolutely! The way they guided us was extraordinary. They were always available for doubts, took the time to explain concepts clearly, and genuinely cared about our growth.
Were you active in sports on campus?
Yes, definitely! I played a lot of Table Tennis and Basketball. ASM gave me a great balance between academics and extracurriculars.
Were you campus placed?
Yes, I was. The placement training was excellent. From resume writing to interview preparation, everything was very well-structured. They even helped us with internships which added to our exposure.
What advice would you give to current students at ASM?
Put in the time and effort consistently. And most importantly—ask questions! The teachers have immense knowledge, and the more you ask, the more you learn.
